Following weeks of leaks and rumours Nvidia has made the GTX 1070 Ti graphics card official. A Founders Edition version launches on November 2 for 419/$449/a469, with partner cards from the likes of Asus, MSI, and Zotac expected to launch shortly after.
More powerful than a GTX 1070, but less powerful than a GTX 1080, the GTX 1070 Ti is Nvidia's response to AMD's RX Vega 56 graphics card. Vega 56 proved a potent competitor for the GTX 1070, with better performance for around the same price. Theoretically, the GTX 1070 Ti should be a better performer than Vega 56, but with GPU prices still all over the place thanks to the Ethereum mining craze, it remains to be seen whether retailers will stick close enough to the 419 recommended price to make it a viable competitor.
